:18:00
I'm Sam Egli.
:18:02
I was called out as a helicopter pilot
:18:05
to assist on the cleanup after
the Treadwell tragedy of last winter.
:18:10
I was in there the morning
:18:12
the Fish and Game officers
were there examining
:18:16
the bear that had done
the killing.
:18:21
The bear was all cut open.
:18:22
It was full of people.
It was full of clothing. It was...
:18:27
We hauled away
four garbage bags of people
:18:31
out of that bear.
:18:36
Treadwell was, I think,
:18:39
meaning well, trying to do things
:18:41
to help the resource of the bears.
:18:45
But to me
he was acting like...
:18:49
like he was working with people
:18:53
wearing bear costumes out there
instead of wild animals.
:18:58
Those bears are big
and ferocious,
:19:01
and they come equipped
to kill ya and eat ya.
:19:04
And that's just what
Treadwell was asking for.
:19:09
He got what
he was asking for.
:19:11
He got what he deserved,
in my opinion.
:19:14
The tragedy of it
was taking the girl with him.
:19:21
I think the only reason
:19:22
that Treadwell lasted
as long in the game as he did
:19:27
was that the bears probably thought
there was something wrong with him.
:19:32
Like he was mentally retarded
or something.
:19:40
That bear, I think,
that day decided that he had
:19:44
either had enough
of Tim Treadwell,
:19:48
or that something clicked
in that bear's head
:19:52
that he thought, "Hey, you know,
he might be good to eat."
:19:57
My opinion,
I think Treadwell thought
